• Blessing In Depths - Cartilage
• Afterlife Sorrow - Cartilage

the fear within, a darkened chasm of memory
a burial ground where my flesh is bound
scarred mind like stitches of illusions... rotten
embalmed mind, thousand decades of dream
rancid thoughts...
whispers of unjust sorrow
severd life...
i'm priosioned by me
'infinity calls
obscenities can't shadow
etheral bliss...
incision and i'll join thee
* i cast my my wordly flesh aside
to greet the spirits of those who died
and on my funeral no-oned cried
'cause all the pity i denied
chorus:
lost souls haunt me till
the dawn that i watch
and mourn on my open grave
i've sworn an oath impure
infinity calls...
obscenities can't shadow
ethereal bliss...
incisions and i'll join thee
*"i look upon the brightening colors of morning sky
and wonder why it seems that i don't fit fitr in this world
[this world]
i have this urge to learn something new
anything that'll just quench this thirsty
[why do i watch the dawn]
i've found out, that in life there are no real answers

reflection of a long rotten
distorted soulles harmony
a vision that is best forgotten
moribund to mistery
* sacred rites in soulofrst - decrying of my innermost
* harvest on the emotional field - barren and dehumanized
* cultivated profanity - ideal soil desolate
* bleeding myriad demi-beings - outliving death
drag me to my knees screaming
a dirge for my weeping soul
the underworld, deoid of believing
lower divinities died unwhole
the spine of time lies scattered
shattered on my molten wings
black soul's dawn twilight death
just ashes on my unclean breath
a spiral satirway, descend into gray
mortality passed into decay
religious psath leads astray... away
chorus:
trapping for eternal soul
the privacy of my hell
illusion from a bunted mind's imagination
reminder of our sins
meets me with a smile
bleeding eyes of the infant christ
bloody tears stigmatized my fears
the falling was pushed, into the muddly ground
to the netherworld, wyhere dawning souls...
drown
lead: [mikko]
broken, line
between life and death divine
decease, stillborn
to a new beginning, i go...
false, temptation
towards the underworld i'm drawn
reflection of a long rotten
distorted soulles harmony
a vision that is best forgotten

dead people in your body bags
rotten prepared for the ritual
rancide meat dripping of liquefied flesh
ideal material for the sacrifice
on your altar built of gave stones and human bones
intercourse whith purulent remains
ejaculate to spice the gift
plastic bag full of genitals
severed to pleased your carnal god
the altar
what ambition drives the mortal
but ambition itself
your ambition is to kill
for your own god
ruptured giblets full of flies
decomposed parts upon the altar
purified but only when putrified
you feed your god, through your mouth
miko "lead"
the altar of angel fallen
you live for it, and it lives through you
twisted religion based on pus and blood

before my infant eyes, our universe opens up wide
pre-destined lifeline, administrates me from cradle to grave
peak of innocence, adolescence my fall from grace
ejected conscience nowadays in depression i dwell
aged, insolated in my realm solicitude is other world
prejudice rejection drains me from soulmatter
that is life so i'm numb an empty void unfulfilled
[karri]
i want to taste life as it is
but with death i'm so far fed
so understand my bitterness
'cause i don't want eternal rest
the threads upon the loom of life
defiled now envenoming us
i crave for something that is pure
but just to reach that is unsure
[mikki]
blackened minds remain
compasion is denied
heads bow down in shame
even loved one's we decieved
restrained... drained
my misery remains
outer world i denied
depressions i gained
disgraced in my hastew
ashamed... deranged
before my dying eyes your universe closes me out
predestined lifelines mine is cut i rest inpeace...

life has no meaning to a fiend like myself
* "overturned, inside out
gasified, i'll fumigate"
my gruesome philisophy, rational anarchy
introverts hallucinations cognitue conjurations
"i rise upon the skies, on my wings of ivory
i am a god-machine, inorganic incendiary
i'll incinerate you all, and dominate your fall"
"this time is optimus, the moment of my exitus
throughout my death i'll live 'cause netherworld has so much to give
i am a wizard king, brotherhood of forbidden sin
my wrath is upon thou, to death i'll take the now"
* i rise upon the tide of madness, illusions afflict joy or sadness
i love to be a mental person it justifies my perversion
i'm on a journey through my sickness, to impale my
consciousness
proud to be
a part of this
insanity
daemons play with me...

* i rise upon the tide of madness, illusions afflict joy or sadness
i love to be a mental person it justifies my perversion
i'm on a journey through my sickness, to impale my
consciousness
"this time is optimus, the moment of my exitus

life has no meaning to a fiend like myself
* "overturned, inside out
gasified, i'll fumigate"
my gruesome philisophy, rational anarchy

permanent mourning a condolence for my eternal soul
an invitation to a carnival a sad celebration beyond
i ascend from my stifening shell and descend to my new home

* like blood my tears flow, sorrow engulfing me
a being that is lost, in ways of arcane lore
love that i knew, now rots in perverted
form, that i fed with life, now i'm just...
restlesss soul doomed to a solless rest the
pain of being dead, infernal paradise
charring my swollen eyes
the lake of blood boisl dry, ascending rusty
steam
excruciating dream...
.... am i free?
chant of the ancient ones:
"thy darkened ways incised our grace
we'll bleed you dry!
writhe in dismay, eternal stay
now cease to be!"
lament of the dead:
"thoo were thy own god, now but a dog...
remain and rot!
our paternal love, a velvet glove
condemsthee now!"
* a swarm of dead souls, dissect my impure shell
as i bewail, they flay, all skin from my
corpse, that is dead, in rest, yet i feel
grief, for the loss, of my old carnal home
torn in half, cpmsi,ed bu ,monmdness fools
a feast on my cold flesh, fragmented putrid mess
swallowed till last abscess
the swarm now vanishes, vortex of gods appear
swiftly it's drawing near
now i fear!
the scars of old - dissolve, with me
as i, submit - cease, to be.
